feat: migrate to smaller exec package

[43081j]

Migrates from execa to tinyexec, a much lighter alternative.

Also changes two of the async functions to use async/await instead of then chaining.

I don't think that either execa or tinyexec are needed. Here's what we do in create-svelte:

/**
 * Supports npm, pnpm, Yarn, cnpm, bun and any other package manager that sets the
 * npm_config_user_agent env variable.
 * Thanks to https://github.com/zkochan/packages/tree/main/which-pm-runs for this code!
 */
function get_package_manager() {
    if (!process.env.npm_config_user_agent) {
        return undefined;
    }
    const user_agent = process.env.npm_config_user_agent;
    const pm_spec = user_agent.split(' ')[0];
    const separator_pos = pm_spec.lastIndexOf('/');
    const name = pm_spec.substring(0, separator_pos);
    return name === 'npminstall' ? 'cnpm' : name;
}

happy to change it to that if we can get agreement from @egoist

seems to make sense to me if they all set that var

In case we settle on using tinyexec instead of the solution proposed by Ben, we should consider calling .trim() here, as I think execa trims the trailing whitespace by default (found this out when some tests in other projects broke when I changed from execa to tinyexec and didn't call .trim()).

[43081j]

Good catch! It's probably worth us opening an issue in the tinyexec repo to at least document this too (if you don't get chance, I'll open it)
